Inexpensive and and quick flexible molds you can use to make cabochons, charms, and more!
I love these molds, they're so easy to make and they work really well! Also, I didn't come up with this idea. I've seen them before on other website, but since there isn't a how-to for them on this website, I thought I'd post it. I did make the ones you're seeing here though ;)

Great idea! Moulds can be really expensive.

Dumb question, what do you use the molds for?
I'd like to fill them with melted chocolate, which I guess should work pretty well.
What else do you use them for?

I never thought of using them for chocolate before, I might have to try that! I use them for making polymer clay charms and cabochons

i make these too but they turn out ....blah

and oh yea! where did you get those cabochon??

Cupcake_Warrior =) · 82 projects 25th February 2013

Are you letting the hot glue cool completely before taking the cabochons out? That might be part of the problem, I let mine cool at least 5 minutes. And the cabochons came from Amazon

This is a great idea, but what with plastic cabochons? Wouldn't they melt from the hot glue?

The ones that I used didn't (the flower I used in the example was plastic). But just to be safe, you might not want to let your hot glue gun get super super hot.
